As seen during this week’s WWE RAW 25th anniversary show, there was very limited action that took place from the Manhattan Center. This caused the crowd to become dead, with fans chanting “bullsh*t” and “we want refunds.” There were two cruiserweight matches that took place from the Manhattan Center and were not shown on TV. When the second match ended in a no contest, the crowd finally lost their patience. Some of the fans calmed down after the Woken Matt vs. Bray Wyatt match, but they were not happy about watching most of the action on a giant screen.

The caption of JR and King sleeping is priceless.

Yeah, I was expecting the Manhattan Center to get the short end for this. They should have had a Brother Love show and guys like APA and Dibiase there. It would have been nice for them to do the McMahons and Austin segment there to kick things off too. At least they got the DX segment and the Undertaker appearance-anticlimactic as it was....

They should've known going in that there was gonna be lulls, but I'm sure if I was in that crowd I would've eventually gotten annoyed too.

I am so glad I didn’t go to this. It’s a shame the WWE could have really done some fun stuff there too. Could have had a segment at the beginning of the show where someone was at one arena and someone was at the other and they challenged a match and they went to Manhattan for it. Could have had some dumb gimmick match that started in one and ended at the other(house of horrors anyone).i would be beyond pissed if I spent a couple hundred bucks and got 2 promos, 3 shotty matches and that’s about it.
They could have had the Austin and a vince segment drawn out. Stone cold came out in Barclays while Vince was shown at the Manhattan center only for Austin to go find him and whoop him there. Everyone is happier

Well I'm glad I didn't spend the big money to go to Manhattan Center. Most of the show took place at Barclays and was better.

I thought they would have balanced it a little better, but it doesn't shock me.

I’d be mad too. I was looking online the other day and those tickets weren’t cheap by any means.
Anytime you run two venues simultaneously like that, atleast one of them are going to get the short end of the stick.

The little bit shown at Manhattan Center trumped EVERYTHING we saw in Brooklyn.

Id be mad if I paid big dollars for either show, the whole episode was abysmal. Somehow they managed to not only fail to produce a memorable original nostalgic moment but also practically failed to promote anything Royal Rumble related.
Austin stunned the McMahons again for the trillionth time.
They dusted off Taker from the shelf just to cut a confusing promo.
DX/Kliq/Balor club was a mess, the DX portion was the same tiresome schtick they always do with a DX reunion.
They literally brought in Jericho just to sit backstage.
The whole show felt like it was booked at the very last second. If I were in the crowd Id want a refund too.

The entire show should have taken place at the Manhattan Center.

I did read that Miz and Seth Rollins showed up too after the show there. Probably WWE's way of trying to make the crowd happy.

Very disappointing show tonight, I feel sorry for anyone who paid to see it live. That's why I don't really go to WWE shows anymore cuz I'd feel like I didn't get my money's worth. I rather spend $10 bucks to watch it on the Network and spend the rest of what I would of spent to see it live for something else.

The show overall was a huge letdown. Reminds me why I don't watch weekly anymore.

All of the Legends segments and matches should have taken place at the Manhattan Center, while the current storylines should have continued in the Barclays Center. Duh!! I would have had both cards going at the same time, with a dual screen setup, and switching back and forth for the sound. I do like the idea of Raw Is War on the Network and Raw on USA. Just add the simulcast used during the Purchase of WCW.
They could have even used both venues for a shared promo or 3. DX and Razor Ramon at the Birthplace Of Raw doing the 2 Sweet promo with A J Styles and the Bálor Club at the home of the Nets. Matt in Manhattan, Bray in Brooklyn. APA playing 5 card draw, while Heath Slater and Rhyno are having a Texas Hold ‘Em tournament. Brock Lesnar attacks Kane where the legends are to start the show, but gets laid out by Braun Strowman when he shows up where the SuperStars are to end the show. Vince running the Legends Show with Triple H, Stephanie running today’s show with Shane.
The only real issue would have been the Legends card.

My question is, why not have Y2J, Dibiase, etc, appear live there. That would’ve kept them more than happy. That and an actual Balor Club 6 man tag would’ve been sufficient enough. Boggles my mind that they fumbled that so bad.
